Cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase; EC 2.4.1.19) mainly produces cyclodextrins (CDs) using linear maltooligosaccharides. We performed site-directed saturation mutagenesis on the +1 substrate-binding residue, H233, of CGTase from alkalophilic Bacillus sp. I-5 to prepare specific-length oligosaccharides. The obtained mutant CGTase, H233Y, primarily produced maltoheptaose (G7) using β-CD via a hydrolysis reaction. A kinetic study of H233Y showed that the kcat/Km value of β-CD was 7-fold greater than that of G7, which accounts for the accumulation of G7 during the H233Y enzyme reaction. A structure comparison of CGTases with H233Y modeling suggests that the substitution of H233Y may alter the position of the +1 subsite and slow the further hydrolysis of G7 after the ring-opening reaction.

Natural products and their derivatives are precious resources with extensive applications in various industrial fields. Enzymatic glycosylation is an efficient approach for chemical structure diversification and biological activity alternation of natural products. Herein, we reported a stereoselective glycosylation of complex natural product glycosides catalyzed by two carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZys).

The glucoconjugation between linear chimeric α-(1→4)- and α-(1→6)-glucosidic segments exhibits functional properties throughout their structure. In this study, we enzymatically synthesized three new series of chimeric nonreducing isomaltomegalosaccharides (N-IMS-n/m), each featuring a constant n, α-(1→4)-segment (average degree of polymerization, DP = 22-25) at the nonreducing terminal, and varying m, α-(1→6)-main chain lengths (DP = 7-53). The synthesized compounds-N-IMS-25/7, N-IMS-24/19, and N-IMS-22/53-were compared to amylose (DP = 28) and previous samples of N-IMS-15/35 and D-IMS-28.

Article Synopsis
- * Directed evolution was employed to improve the cyclomaltodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) enzyme, resulting in mutations that increased its affinity for maltose and overall transglycosylation activity.
- * The N33K/S211G mutant demonstrated a 32.6% increase in trehalose yield, indicating enhanced performance of the double enzyme method for potential industrial application.

β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) is an important cyclic oligosaccharide, which is widely applicated in foods, environmental protection, and cosmetics, primarily prepared from enzymatic synthesis in traditional industry. However, several challenges persist, including cumbersome processes and difficulties in achieving continuous fermentation and catalysis. This research introduced a biofilm-based immobilized fermentation, integrating with enzyme catalysis system of surface display in Bacillus subtilis.

Article Synopsis
- * The study found that glycosylation efficiencies for various polyphenols were significantly higher—up to 20.9 times—compared to non-complexed systems.
- * The research identified the rate-limiting step in the glycosylation process, showing that the enzyme's ability to open cyclodextrin was much more effective than its ability to glycosylate polyphenols, leading to an optimal yield of 84.1% for rutin.
